Is hydrogen peroxide classified as a Class A fire hazard, but does it belong to the category of flammable liquids?
Thread Content
I would like to ask: Is the fire hazard of hydrogen peroxide classified as Category A? It is a highly oxidizing liquid, so it shouldn’t be considered a flammable liquid, right? When dividing explosion-proof areas, is it necessary to do so based on the explosion-proof range of flammable liquids? How do you determine the explosion-proof area?
Oxidizers are non-flammable and should not be considered flammable liquids. I don’t know how to divide it
Hydrogen peroxide is a fire hazard substance of \"Class A\"; it is classified as \"Class A, Item 5\" in the examples provided in Appendix 4. The Classification and Labelling of Commonly Used Hazardous Chemicals (GB 13690-92) assigns this substance to Category 5.1 oxidizers.
But for Class A, isn’t explosion protection required? ?
Excuse me, sir, where does this information come from?
GB50058-2014
Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent, and its use depends on whether there are flammable liquids present in the surrounding area and other relevant factors.
I hope this will be useful to you. It is based on a article from a journal on chemical safety regarding impurities; the title of the article is: Discussion on the Fire Hazard Categories of Hydrogen Peroxide Solutions at Different Concentrations _ Xie Weike.
